A new life, a new beginning

I finally got the chance to blog. Actually I was quite lazy to spend some time to type an entry. Sorry that you always have to nag at me to blog more. Haha =)

Anyway I took half day off on friday to get some rest and also I got something on in the evening. I got invited to join my grand-juniors for their astronomy orientation. I sort of missed them and I could get to see some great-grand-juniors. Haha. Well before that, something interesting happened on my journey back home from work. It happened while I was on board this bus on my way home from work. The bus was approaching a traffic junction then suddenly the bus came to a stop at the side of road. The bus uncle seem so flustered as he quickly got off the bus and ran backwards away from the bus without telling the passengers what happened. All of us turned and looked at him as he kept half-walking and half-running to some place very far behind. Finally he got out of sight so all of us just had to wait until he came back. A few minutes he came back and he was holding the left rear mirror of the bus! Apparently the left rear mirror came loose and dropped somewhere further back. I think the bus driver only noticed it missing when he wanted to look into the mirror. So he wanted to get back to the bus interchange as soon as possible. So he did not pick up any passengers and skipped the remaining bus-stops. Fortunately most of the remaining passengers were headed for the interchange so he reached there pretty quickly. It was a rather interesting incident to begin my rest of the day away from work.

So I got home and took a nap until five o'clock. So I took the usual bus back to njc. It has been a long time since I went back to school, probably seven months already. The journey back felt so different, so nostalgic. Yet I saw familiar faces on the bus and I wondered about the six years that I spent in this area. I got down and first person I met was mr low kwee peng at the bus-stop. He had not changed, still the same old self. I chatted with him for a while and I thought he was quite surprised that I came back. So there I went, across the same old bridge that I spent walking for six years, and through the side gate infamous for its opening hours. Luckily I came prepared as I slowly walked towards the security guard. I was in my orientation t-shirt and jeans. The same security guard who had seen me for two whole years saw me. I stopped and flipped open my wallet, ready to take out my secret weapon - my security pass (the white card that we always had to tap every morning)! Then he said, "Student?" I paused and then nodded, "Yeah." And he let me through! Haha. At least I still looked like a student to him. ^_^ As usual, the ccas were having their trainings on friday. And apparently the school managed to change the turf of the field to something better. I went up to the canteen and got a drink. I wanted to look for the mixed rice uncle but his stall was closed and he was not around when I went to the back.

So I went up to sigma lab and found the guys. Actually I felt old being a year 4 there. But at least cherlynn and rong'en came back too and ly was still there. There was still people I know. Even jin peng came to promote his newly formed astro club at marine parade community club. I thought it was wonderful to be back. Although there was no observation that night. I felt a sense of belonging to the place. What we had been through to manage the club. All the setbacks and achievements that we had been through. Haha I felt happy just to be there.

Anyway I got to go first. I will try to finish the entry later tonight when I get back. So, see you then (: Be back later.
